Help needed getting Adaptec 72405 (24 port card) working on DS3622xs+ (what SataPortMap & DiskIdxMap values)

[DarkBlade]

I can get a basic build working following the tutorial here wundertech.net  how-to-install-xpenology-on-proxmox-dsm-7 

This gets DSM running on the Proxmox storage drive.

 

I'm now trying to rebuild (from scratch), passing an Adaptec 72405 (24 port card set to HBA mode) through - hoping that DSM will still install on the VM drive and the disks on the Adaptec card are then seen as additional storage (to create storage pools etc). I only need/want to use (the first) 20 ports on the card (the remaining 4 ports are not connected to any drives or backplane).

 

When booting into Redpill and DSM:

• DSM fails to spot the 20G VM disk
• The drives on the Adaptec card start from slot 3
• Only 14 of the 15 drives I currently have installed are picked up.

 

My initial attempts at changing the SataPortMap, DiskIdxMap and MaxDisks values has resulted in no disks showing, or crashing the Adaptec card. (requiring a complete power down to recover on one occasion).  I've had a few other issues which I think I have now resolved.

 

My ask is:

How can I get the build working using the VM sata1 drive?

What values should I try for SataPortMap, DiskIdxMap and MaxDisks?

 

 

This is the hardware setup in Proxmox

 

 

 

This is the satamap output (I manually set maxdisks to 24 in user_config before running satamap)
